Author(s): Hussen Ali*, Yohanes Wodaje and Yonatan Tibebu
Irrigation is taken as not only improving the living habits of the societies but also having the ability to avoid the uncertainty that comes with climate change. This study was conducted to evaluate the hydraulic performance of Kelina's small-scale irrigation scheme using selected performance indicators. Primary data like applied water measurement at head, middle and tail reach of the field, taking soil samples for determination of (moisture content, field capacity. permanent wilting point and total available water), canal flow measurement, field observation and focal group discussion and secondary data like (meteorological data, cropping data and data related to design document of irrigation scheme) were taken from the concerned institutions. After the data were taken the data were analyzed by empirical formula, CROPWAT model and Microsoft Excel. The data has been analyzed by Bas.. Read More»
